If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.
The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

ICE is probably causing an increase in crime.
I’m not referring to the many crimes committed by ICE officers—though one certainly could—but to how they’ve enabled criminals by giving them opportunities to impersonate masked ICE officers and by pulling cops off of police work to do harassment.
